Just wanted to add that I wore to cold cap for 3 sessions. Lost 85% of hair by the ens if 3rd chemo. I read a book on how breast cancer survival and the author said that at her clinic (America) she doesnt have cold caps. The reason being that we want to kill all the cells and not protect the ones around brain as thats ine part bc can go to. I went to my 4th Chemo mad at everyone for not telling me this in the beginning as I would havr chosrn not to wear it if presented with that scenario. I decided not to wear it. My Onc came by and asked why and I told him. He said that it isnt proof so they dont worry about it and in his opinion it is safe to wear it. Anyway I decided not to and lost the rest of my hair and bought a wig. Xxx
